114: From Ballet to the Marathon: Reclaiming Movement at 42 w/ Kristine Owen Wood

114: From Ballet to the Marathon: Reclaiming Movement at 42 w/ Kristine Owen Wood

Kristine Owen Wood grew up in the world of elite ballet, where movement was disciplined, aesthetic, and high pressure from a young age. After earning a spot in Alberta Ballet and ultimately stepping away for the sake of her health, she had to rebuild her relationship with her body from the ground up. Running started quietly, as something private and unstructured, before slowly becoming the place where she reclaimed strength, autonomy, and joy in her 40s.

In this episode, Kristine shares how a half marathon breakthrough pulled her into race culture, what two years of injury taught her about patience, and what it felt like to hit the wall at mile 20 of her first marathon. We talk about shifting goals mid-race, choosing not to walk, and why proving it’s “not too late” might be the most meaningful finish line of all.
